Ashes to Ashes

Ready to storm Pagan Min's fortress? This Far Cry 4 walkthrough guides you through the 'Ashes to Ashes' mission, from taking out snipers to securing the courtyard and defending against the counterattack.

Alright, so the Golden Path is finally making a big push on Pagan's fortress, and they need your help. Your first job is to head towards it. Keep your eyes peeled on the road, because you might run into some enemies, including those tough Heavies. You can either try to sneak past them or jump into the fray with your allies and take them down.

Once you reach the fortress, do a quick scan of the walls for any snipers. If you've got a sniper rifle handy, now's the perfect time to pick them off from a distance. Watch out for the guy with the RPG and the one manning the mortar – you'll see an indicator on screen for incoming mortar fire, so be ready to move.

When you get to the big blue door, just blast it open with whatever you've got. Do the same for the main gate. The real mission kicks off now: you need to secure the courtyard. This breaks down into three smaller objectives: capturing three specific areas that will be marked on your map.

All you need to do is enter these highlighted zones. As soon as you step inside, a bar will appear at the top of your screen. Just hang out in the area until that bar fills up completely – that's how you capture it. Be aware that some enemies will pop up whenever you enter these capture zones, so be ready for a fight.

After you've captured all three spots, meet back up with the rest of the Golden Path. Looks like some reinforcements are coming to try and take the fort back. You'll be directed to use the mounted machine gun for this part. They'll be coming at you from the front of the fort, with vehicles and even a few helicopters. The good news is they'll all be heading straight for your position, so keep an eye on your mini-map to make sure none of them get too close.
